Factors Influencing Spousal Support

Courts consider various factors when determining spousal support amounts and duration. These include the length of the marriage, each spouse's financial situation, earning capacities, contributions to the marriage, and the standard of living established during the marriage. For example, a 20-year marriage where one spouse was a homemaker while the other built a career might result in a more substantial support award¹.
